Pictures of Mark Taylor
Profile:Mark Taylor, also known as "Tubby", was an excellent left hand opening batsman and cricketing strategist. Also a successful leader of New South Wales in domestic competition, Taylor was appointed Australian captain after the retirement from the role of Allan Border in 1994. Throughout his reign at the helm of his national team, he was acclaimed by many as one of Australia's best ever captains - his tactical nous consistently proving gilt-edged as he guided his team to the status of the world's unofficial Test champions with victory over West Indies in the Caribbean in 1995 and then consolidated it in subsequent years. Following his spectacular debut tour of England in 1989, where he scored an amazing 839 runs at 83.90, Taylor also proved a dependable opening batsman, even if the reputation took a battering for a long period during 1996 and 1997 when he endured a miserably long run of outs. Taylor was also considered by many to be the finest slip fielder in world cricket; that he claimed a world record 157 catches in Tests only added lustre to this view. During his years at the top, he was also a popular figure, and was a fabulous ambassador and role model for cricket and for his country both on and off the field. He retired from international cricket in 1999, following a successful tour of Pakistan (during which he famously equalled Don Bradman's record individual Test score of 334) and a final defence of the Ashes. Subsequently, he has become a respected television commentator for the Nine Network in Australia. (John Polack, January 2000) |
